Supergirl Pro Sound Session Presented by JLab Audio 2017

The Supergirl Pro Sound Session is an ALL FEMALE DJ Competition accepting entries from female DJ’s across the US. Our goal is to empower women of all ages, backgrounds, and stages of life who love to make music and get a crowd dancing!

Our Sound Session champion will be a woman who can mix with the best, and represents what they think empowers fellow female DJs. They can be bold, brave, smart, energetic, sassy or fun - anything they believe will further inspire others. All eligible entries received will be judged by industry professionals and narrowed down to the Top 8 finalists.

The Top 8 female finalists will travel to Oceanside, CA to perform in a LIVE head to head battle in front of all Supergirl Surf Pro festival goers and Sound Session judges on Saturday, July 29th.
